History

Created in November 2018 at FAM Bar, London, England in memory of Mark Ridgwell, author of Spirits Distilled, respected educator and creator of the Taste & Flavour network of speakers and spirit enthusiasts.

The original recipe is based on Makers Mark (which Mark enthusiastically promoted during his career): 20ml Rittenhouse rye, 25ml FAM blend vermouth (equal parts Carpano Classico, Punt e Mes & Martini rosso) and 5ml Braemble gin liqueur.

Review

Delicately spicy and Manhattan-like in style.

Really delicious. The crème de mûre is quite subtle and deliciously present on the after palate. In honour of Mark went with makers 46, Giffard crème de mûre, then spec. Generous garnish of strawberries and raspberries for aromatics - thanks Scott in comments.

This is really nice. This is rough and smooth at the same time. Very delicate and robust all at once. Love it.

Lovely cocktail and don't skip the garnish. It doesn't have to be a blackberry, you can substitute it for strawberry but the berry smell is essential.
